#AllTheThings – Designer’s Choice with Jennifer

Hello Scrapbook Circle friends! It is time to share my Designer’s Choice layout for August, and what I’m about to show you is truly a sight to behold!! Have you ever had one of those projects that you keep adding “just one more thing” to? That is the case for me this month – this layout has a bit of everything – mixed media, sewing, cut files . . . it doesn’t seem to end.

Overall, I love the look of this layout despite all that it has going on. To begin this project, I cut the patterned paper into strips and then sewed them to the base paper.

Next, I began to layer papers behind my photo. If you look closely, you will notice that I used the triangle stencil with molding paste to create a unique background.

I also loved the number stickers but wasn’t sure how to incorporate them, so I ended up cutting them into strips and layering them with the other patterned papers at the top and bottom of the photo.

And since that wasn’t enough, I also used some of Scrapbook Circle’s exclusive cut files to create the tags that flow across the page. The tags we attached with foam squares but do have thread going through each one, behind the title, and then through the right-hand side of the layout.

I finished with some of the puffy stickers, the leather-look badge, and a bit of journaling.

While this is one of my busiest layouts to date and is about five inches high, I think it’s fun and captures the mood and setting of the photo.

As always, thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are inspired to create!

My name is Jennifer and I live in a small, rural community in central Washington state. My husband Dan and I have three kids - Phoebe, Caleb, and Abigail - who range in age from 11 to 20. We also have two dogs - Mabel is a goldendoodle and Luna a German shepard. Scrapbooking is my creative outlet and stress reducer. A friend introduced me to paper crafting in 2002 and I haven't stopped since. I spend my days as a high school teacher and fill the rest of my time with family and crafting. During the summer months you will find me out by the pool, on the porch with my nose in a book, camping, or in the craft room.
